    Got any lawyers who agree with you? Any at all? Any republicans on this committee who say it’s illegal? Even the Trump appointed judge knwos they can do this.

    According to this link:

    The Easy Question: Can House Democrats Make Trump’s Tax Returns Public?

    The law is clear that the House Ways and Means Committee can now make Trump’s tax returns public if a majority of the committee members vote to do so.

    The relevant statute, Section 6103(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, instructs the IRS to release otherwise-confidential tax returns or return information to three congressional tax committees—the Senate Finance Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Joint Committee on Taxation—upon written request from the chair of any of those panels. The statute also instructs the IRS to release returns or return information to other congressional committees under a narrower set of circumstances.

    I’ve been trying to tell them that. I can’t find any lawyers saying it’s illegal.

    What nonsense are you spouting?

    It is neither illegal to make fake campaign promises, nor to fail to keep them.

    So you think you’re the only one who figured out it’s illegal? Lol

    It seems I misread your insinuating post.

    My "insinuation" is that the law should be respected, and violations pursued in the appropriate legal and legislative venues.

    There have been and are a number of such adjudication relating to Trumpery underway.

    For quite some time, there had been considerable resistance to the truth being revealed, but diligent investigation and sworn testimony by knowledgable patriots have exposed much.

    I hesitate to belabor this but that was not the insinuation, and I agree. It was your phrase the "illegality of not keeping campaign promises."

    As in "If there is credible evidence of illegality in fulfilling Trump's repeated promise to release his tax returns to the public, the law should be applied, of course."

    Indeed. If the House Ways and Means Committee's fulfilling Trump repeated promise was illegal, I have no doubt there are those eager to prosecute.
